Thank you for your efforts. It indeed works better with the 2010-02-15
snapshot.

In order to help you pinpointing another glitch, I attach here a slightly
slightly modified version of the original test case and a shell script.
Launching the program in a terminal and then the shell script in another
one, it seems that the program hangs on the write() call.
Apparently, the problem is the O_RDWR flag, as replacing it with O_WRONLY,
everything works. The test case works with O_RDWR both in cygwin 1.5 and
linux.
